The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters

"Junior Sister Zhu, please don't misunderstand. I just think your shoes are quite unique. If I'm not mistaken, exorcism runes have been added to them, specifically to disperse the protective aura of demons, right?"

Lin Xiao carefully examined the pair of translucent, enticingly shaped high-heeled shoes and said seriously, "Hmm, someday... I might borrow them for a... no, to have a pair made for my Master."

"Ah? Oh, if Senior Brother Lin likes them, Wanning... can give them to you after we leave."

The man she admired took off her shoes, revealing her shy little feet, causing Zhu Wanning's heart to jump to her throat! Her snow-white, bare legs also shrank back shyly.

Then, the two just stared at each other without any words. The atmosphere became subtly charged, to the point where their breaths were audible.

She suddenly turned her head and said, "Wait... Senior Brother Lin, how do you know all these things? You should know, even my Master doesn't know about these sect secrets!"

"Heh, it's in the novel... oh no, it's drawn on there." Lin Xiao casually pointed to a nearby screen.

Zhu Wanning took a closer look. Indeed, vivid drawings of various characters and scenes were depicted on it, interspersed with elegantly written text! It was a record of the ancestral master and a woman named Moon Princess, from their acquaintanceship to their eventual parting!

"BOOM!"

A loud noise came from ahead. The cave filled with flying rubble, as if it were about to collapse.

"It's here, it's here!"

"The Spirit Python has retrieved our fated opportunity!"

"Let's go, let's go get it!"

Lin Xiao put the shoes back on Zhu Wanning, naturally took her hand, and ran deeper into the cave.

「At the same time.」

Xiao Hongling and Su Mei, in search of their beloved disciples, led a group of disciples into the teleportation array, entering the next level: the Red Heart Sword Prison.

The scene changed abruptly. Two giant platforms appeared before them. On these platforms stood two statues, each over a hundred feet tall, with green faces and fangs. They wielded enormous glaives, standing proudly on either side like savage giants from ancient times!

Between the two colossal statues, an even larger ceremonial platform towered. The teleportation array leading to the final level, the Tower of the Blue Sky Sword, was situated upon it.

Feeling the terrifying oppressive power emanating from the two gigantic statues, all the disciples inhaled sharply.

If it weren't for the reassuring presence of the two stunningly beautiful Chairmen, none of them would have dared to take even a single step forward.

Su Mei addressed the assembled disciples, "This is the 4th level of the Sword Tomb: the Red Heart Sword Prison. Only those with sincere hearts and resolute Dao Hearts can pass the trial, ascend the platform, and enter the final level. Of course, there's no need for everyone to be overly nervous. If you don't pass on your first attempt, simply recite our sect's 'Tai Chi Mysterious Sutra.' Once your state of mind has stabilized, try the test again. After a few attempts, you will surely pass. I'm telling you this 'cheating' method because passing on the first try is exceedingly difficult. In the entire history of the Qinglan Sect, over the past thousand years, only two individuals have ever managed it."

Her words immediately sparked the disciples' curiosity.

"Two people? Who could they be?"

"Isn't it obvious? It must be our two Chairmen, Su and Xiao!"

"No! I bet it's the Sect Leader and Elder Chisong!"

"Could one of them be Elder Yuanyi, with his compassionate Dao Heart?"

Su Mei, however, simply smiled without speaking. She swayed her hips gracefully and approached Xiao Hongling. "Junior Sister, why don't you share with everyone how you managed to ascend back then, wine cup in hand, casually sipping as you rose to the heavens? That scene, Senior Sister will truly never forget! Or, Junior Sister, how about we have our disciples compete? Let's see whose disciples possess a purer and more resilient Dao Heart?"

"Utterly boring." Xiao Hongling frowned. "Xiao'er's fate is unknown, and we have no time to waste!"

Despite her words, she moved with her exceptionally beautiful legs, clad in black silk, flashing to the side of a young woman in white. "Youwei! You will set an example for your martial brothers and sisters! We must all pass quickly and proceed to the final level to rescue Eldest Senior Brother!"

She had intentionally chosen her third disciple, precisely because Youwei was kind-hearted, pure, and innocent; passing this trial would be effortless for her! It was also the perfect opportunity to deflate her Senior Sister's arrogance. They had been rivals for a hundred years, and Xiao Hongling was determined to win every single time. This time would be no exception!

"Yes, Master!" Chu Youwei nodded obediently. Then, taking a deep breath, she positioned herself between the two colossal statues.

The next moment, she pushed her True Yuan to its limits. Aided by the repulsive force of her guqin's music, her figure, like a Spiritual Bird, soared upwards towards the ceremonial platform, ascending steadily, step by step!

In an instant, the disciples were utterly stunned, then erupted in cheers!

"What an incredibly profound and orthodox Immortal Sect movement technique!"

"I never expected that besides Eldest Senior Brother from Divine Phoenix Peak, Elder Sister Chu also possesses such an exquisite movement technique!"

"I dare say Elder Sister Chu's skill is in no way inferior to Senior Brother Lin's Three Thousand Thunder Movements!"

"It seems Divine Phoenix Peak is full of low-key geniuses! Truly worthy of being disciples taught by Chairman Xiao!"

Listening to the chorus of praise around her, Xiao Hongling's red lips curved slightly, a hint of satisfaction gracing her features.

However, in the very next second, the smile on her face froze solid!

Just as Chu Youwei was about to reach the ceremonial platform, roughly ten feet from its edge... her face turned deathly pale. Her body abruptly halted in mid-air, as if obstructed by an invisible force, unable to advance even an inch further!
